Chapter 142 Transfer dowry
“You little girl, why did the second wife come here and scream like you saw a ghost!” Mother Zhao next to Wang Xiushu taught, Hong Xiu knew that she had broken the rules and knelt down quickly, “Madam slave knows it’s wrong. .”
Wang Xiushu gave up and motioned for Hong Xiu to get up. Mother Zhao frowned. As soon as the lady came to power, the second lady Yu Shi walked up the door. The visitor must be unkind.
“Madam, please be careful. This Yushi is not a fuel-efficient lamp.” Mother Zhao reminded in a low voice. Wang Xiushu sneered and put down the tea cup in his hand: “It seems that I am using this breakfast for restlessness. Red sleeves will soon invite the second wife in. Don’t get it out of the sun in this hot day.”
The second wife Yu was helped by the maid and walked into the hall. Yu smiled brightly, and her delicate makeup seemed to be full of energy. Behind her were two non-servants dressed in grey cloth, carrying a mahogany box behind.
“What wind brought the second lady to my Qingfeng courtyard?” Wang Xiushu got up and bowed to the Yu clan, stepping forward and supporting the second lady to the seat.
The Yu clan is very satisfied with Wang Xiushu’s etiquette. Although the Liu clan is now defeated, there will inevitably be a comeback in the Liu clan’s family there. Although Wang Xiushu is a mountain village woman, she is naturally intelligent and does not rely on pets and prides herself on others. Still be humble as always.
“I think Xiusu, you have come to Pingnan Hou Mansion for so long, but I only came and walked once, and I was negligent.” Yu Shi held up the red sleeves and handed the morning tea, and slightly blew the floating leaves floating on the tea water and took a sip “No, I think Xiushu’s clothes are too simple and elegant. The master has just given me a few pieces of silk and satin. I saw that the new style on this silk and satin is very suitable for you and sent it to you.”
Wang Xiushu snorted coldly in her heart. She didn’t come to the Hou Mansion for one or two days. These two ladies have come here a long time ago. Why wait till now, but Wang Xiushu has a flattered look on her face. She smiled and thanked: “Thank you.” The love of the second lady.”
She summoned the green lotus and picked a few exquisite and luxurious pieces from the jewellery given to her by Zhao Guogong and put them in a carefully carved jade box and presented them to the Yu family.
“Second Madam, I came to this Hou Mansion not long ago, and there are not many good things on my body. I hope that the Second Madam will not dislike it.” Wang Xiushu smiled and held the Second Madam’s hand. “Xiushu will look at the Second Madam to teach more in the future.”
After listening to the Yu clan, she pondered for a while. She came to this Qingfeng Academy only thinking that Wang Xiushu’s popularity is now flourishing. It would be no harm to her to cheat, but her gift was accepted, and Wang Xiushu paid her back. The big gift, this made Yu Shi a little puzzled, what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Xiushu’s gourd.
Sending away the Yu clan, the uninvited guests were more than the Yu clan. The Qingfengyuan became a lively place early in the morning, and all the ladies in the mansion sent gifts. Wang Xiushu has been busy all morning without taking a break.
After sending this last wave of people, Wang Xiushu finally had time to sit in the hall and rest.
“Madam, do you think the wind blows these people.” Mother Zhao said softly, her eyes filled with disdain and sarcasm. The aunts in this mansion where the wind blows to which side, look at this moment. When Wang Xiushu’s limelight is in full swing, they come to curry favor, if the day Wang Xiushu loses, they might step on it.
“These people care how much they do,” Wang Xiushu sneered. She was a little hungry after half a busy morning. “Red sleeves, order the food.”
Wang Xiushu had a very uncomfortable day. When Ruan Tianqi came back at night, she discussed with him and took advantage of the night to go to the secret storehouse that Xiaoliu told him to find her mother’s relics.
Ruan Tianqi responded, and the two of them didn’t stay too much. Wang Xiushu called the two maids who were close to him and quickly got up and rushed. Not familiar with the road here, Wang Xiushu changed into a maid’s outfit to let Green Lotus lead the way. Under the shroud of night, they went smoothly along the way and didn’t meet anyone, and soon came to the stone forest that Xiaoliu said.
Wang Xiushu walked into the stone forest and walked straight into a stone cave. The air in the stone forest did not appear humid under the cover of the trees. This made Wang Xiushu feel a little weird, but as a private library, this place is indeed an excellent place. No wonder Liu flutters. To hide the dowry here.
There was a hidden darkroom in the stone cave. Ruan Tianqi stepped forward to unlock the mechanism and pushed open the door of the darkroom. As the dust had been sealed for a long time, the moment Wang Xiushu dodged the door, he was choked.
“Cough cough cough…” Wang Xiushu covered his cough with a handkerchief.
“Shu’er is okay?” Ruan Tianqi hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern. Wang Xiushu shook his head and motioned for him to come and take a look.
Ruan Tianqi had no choice but to step forward and saw that the wooden frame was filled with rare jewels, and there were not only Zhao Yumin’s dowry, but also more valuable treasures.
“This Liu family doesn’t know where to get these money from.” Ruan Tianqi lightly hummed a disdainful mockery.
Earlier, I heard that these high-ranking officials in the capital colluded with businessmen to sell officials, presumably this Liu family was also doing this kind of business in private. Wang Xiushu thought to himself.
She flipped through the ledger to correspond to the number of Zhao Yumin’s dowry. After finishing the count, Wang Xiushu’s eyes rolled and looked at Ruan Tianqi: “It’s all here.”
“These things can’t stay here, they have to be moved out as soon as possible.” Ruan Tianqi said.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Xiushu made up his mind: “I will move out tonight, and I will remove something from the large warehouse to replace it.”
Ruan Tianqi nodded and agreed with Wang Xiushu’s practice: “But if there are so many things in the large warehouse, it is inevitable that some people will become suspicious.”
“I have my own solution,” Wang Xiushu smiled slightly. Since she Liu Piaopiao greedy Ronghua, Wang Xiushu let her taste the fate of greedy Ronghua.
Talking about his idea with Ruan Tianqi, Ruan Tianqi’s brows stretched out, feeling helpless to his smart and pretty wife, he scraped her nose fondly, and whispered: “You!”
According to Wang Xiushu’s intention, Ruan Tianqi quietly found someone to come and remove the birth mother’s dowry, and then misappropriated the long-dust jewelry in the large warehouse. It was midnight when I returned to the mansion after doing all this, and the sleepiness was like a tide coming towards the husband and wife. Ruan Tianqi looked at the soft figure of his wife, although he was itchy, but watching Wang Xiushu’s face was tired, he was distressed Toss her again, sighed and put his arms around Wang Xiusu to fall asleep, sleepless all night.
Just after dawn, Wang Xiushu got up early and called Hongshou to dress herself. Although Wang Xiushu prefers plain dressing, her current status is different. She is the head of the Pingnan Hou Mansion. As the face of Pingnan Hou Mansion, she naturally has to pay more attention to her dress.
After using breakfast to estimate the time, the old woman should get up at this time, and Wang Xiushu called the green lotus to help herself to Heming Hall.
